Northern Travel Subsidy

The Ontario Liberal Party recognizes that registrants attending the Leadership Convention from Northern Ontario ridings will incur greater travel costs to participate. Delegates and alternates representing Northern Ontario ridings, and traveling to the convention from Northern Ontario, are eligible for the Ontario Liberal Party Northern Travel Subsidy following the convention, provided the travel costs are incurred directly by the participant. Delegates and alternates representing, and traveling from, Northwestern Ontario are eligible for up to $200 reimbursement. Delegates and alternates representing, and traveling from, Northeastern Ontario are eligible for up to $150 reimbursement. Participants applying for the Northern Travel Subsidy after the convention should contact Wenli Wang (wwang@ontarioliberal.ca), OLP Financial Services Manager, and must produce receipts for their expenses.

I need a hotel in Toronto.

Here are a number of hotels close to the convention site. The Ontario Liberal Party has worked to secure special rates at various hotels in the downtown core in walking distance to the Mattamy Athletic Centre. When booking please state that you are attending the 2013 Ontario Liberal Party Leadership Convention.
